For people who are surfing the net and wander in, and are not familiar with the CAGenWeb Project.......
This is a Genealogy website to search for information on ancestors who lived in Lake County, California.

(This site is not affililated with Lake County Government.)

Weather at the closest weather station.

My name is Anita Crabtree. I am the coordinator for Lake County, CA GenWeb (Genealogy). If you would like to contribute your information to this page, please contact me at anitajc@pacific.netIf you would like to host a county of your own please contact the State Coordinator Martha Graham

Do YOU have Lake County connections?If so, I invite you to send a transcription of Marriage Announcements, Birth Announcements, Obituaries, Biographies, Letters, Autograph Books, etc., to be preserved for the History of Lake County.We have few volunteers to transcribe information, so every little bit helps

"LOOK-UPS" - Look-ups are for information

Contained in the Genealogy Library or Museum;

Newspaper microfilms for Births or Marriages to present, however the newspaper index only goes up to 1949; you will need the exact date after that.

Obituaries up to the present. (Request from only one of the volunteers)

PLEASE NOTE..........The Lake County Genealogy Library is moving. All records are boxed up, so they are not available for research. We will let you know when the library is open again.

A new research source, which includes census records -

Nobody is a "professional researcher". Volunteers do not go to the Courthouse and do not search Land Records.

Request information from only ONE source: (Museum, Historical Society, Genealogy Society, Library or an individual volunteer of Lake County). This is a very small county and all of the information is kept in the same place, so we all use that same information. With so few volunteers to do look-ups, we hate to use our time duplicating work.

Also, the volunteers use their time doing "Look-ups" for people who don't live in the area. If you live in Lake County, go in and make use of all of the wonderful information at the Genealogy research library and Museum. Or go to the Lake Co. Library in Lakeport to read old newspapers on microfilm.

We do not look up missing friends, relatives or any living person. Post any query of that type on

Understand that the Genealogy records that are available, go from about 1850, to maybe 1950. There is no access to Vital Records in some of this time, although there might be an obituary listed in a Newspaper Index.
